How to get away with murder actress, Viola Davis has opened up about a scene in the TV series where removed her makeup and her wig to revealed her totally bare, eyebrowless face and close-cropped hair.
Viola Davis played the role of top defense attorney and stoic college professor Annalise Keating.
In a interview with The Wrap magazine, Viola, 49, said "Because I think that how we are as women, just in real life, is very interesting. And I think that in the hands of a woman–and I’d like to think that, in my professional life anyway, I have a certain braveness and boldness–I want to present women as they really are".
Davis added, "It’s not always about being pretty. But it is about uncovering and feeling comfortable with the way we are and the way we look when we’re in private. You know, as soon as you walk through the door, what do you do? You take off your bra, you let your titties sag, you let your hair come off — I mean my hair. I mean, I don’t have any eyebrows".
Amerian actress, Viola Davis revealed, "I let my eyebrows be exactly what they are. And it’s me. And I wanted that scene to be somewhere in the narrative of Annalise. That who she is in her public life and who she was in her private life were absolutely, completely diametrically opposed to one another. Because that’s who we are as people. We wear the mask that grins and lies".
